    Cmon man, Joes had worse than that Will 'Kid Fire' Mcintyre... :deal

    the thing is how many of these ridiculously random title defences leads to an upset, in Britain alone, both Gavin Rees and Steve robinson come to mind.


    What about a novice Leon Spinks beating Muhammad Ali.

    Shitty title defences have always been a part of boxing and always will be.

    you're probably thinking of the Damon Reed 'fight' , I thin Reed was even worse than Gunn .

    Kedebe did actually have an okay(but padded) record and seemed a much better(but still easily outclassed) fighter against Gamboa .

    The crazy thing is Kedebe has a win over Mihaita Mutu , who did okay when challenging for the European Lightweight title and looked very good outboxing Barry Morrison 2 years ago .

    So Kedebe must have some talent and maybe it was a combination of ver poor punch resistance and being weight drained(making him have appaling punch resistance) that caused him to be beaten so pathetically by Harrison .

    Bobby Gunn is ranked #32 by the WBC(and was higher until inactivity) , what's even worse is when Gunn was ranked 15th by the WBO when he fought Macca.........he was ranked 14th by the WBC .

    The good news is he's fighting again in less than 3 weeks and will no doubt once again rise up the prestigious WBC rankings .

    he's the worst for me. :patsch

    he only weighed 14st 3ibs for the hide fight as well.

    he was barely a heavyweight.

    hide was outweighing him by a stone or more.

    include the fact he was a club fighter at best.
